What’s in the Box

Refurbished MacBook Air

45W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter, AC wall plug and power lead

Features

Up to 3x faster Wi-Fi.

MacBook Air supports ultra-fast 802.11ac Wi-Fi. When connected to an 802.11ac base station — including AirPort Extreme and AirPort Time Capsule — wireless performance is up to 3x faster than with the previous generation of Wi-Fi or MacBook Air with 802.11n Wi-Fi 2. And your Wi-Fi range improves as well. With Bluetooth technology, you can connect MacBook Air to Bluetooth-enabled devices like speakers and headphones. Even without all the wires, you’re totally connected.

Backlit keyboard. What you see is what you type.

As incredibly compact as MacBook Air is, it still manages to fit a full‑size keyboard that makes typing as natural as it is comfortable. And the keyboard is backlit, so you can type with ease in even the dimmest light. A built-in ambient light sensor detects changes in lighting conditions and adjusts the display and keyboard brightness automatically. From a seat in a sunny café to a seat on an overnight flight, you’ll always have the perfect lighting for any environment.

Thunderbolt and USB 3.

With the lightning-fast Thunderbolt port, you can connect your MacBook Air to the latest devices and displays, like the Apple Thunderbolt Display. But that’s not the whole story. MacBook Air also comes equipped with two USB 3 ports, so you can connect the latest USB 3 devices and all your USB 2 devices as well. With just a few connections, MacBook Air transforms from an ultra-portable notebook to a complete workstation.

Fast all-flash storage. Ready. Set. Done.

Part of what makes MacBook Air so responsive is that it’s designed entirely around flash storage. Not only does this make MacBook Air much lighter and more portable than traditional notebooks, it also provides faster access to data. This PCIe-based flash storage is up to 9x faster than a traditional 5400-rpm notebook hard drive3. So when you flip open MacBook Air, it’s ready to go straightaway. Even after a month in standby mode, the screen springs to life.

Up to 9 hours of battery life.

Thanks to compact all-flash storage in MacBook Air, there’s plenty of room for a big battery. Working together with the power-efficient fourth-generation Intel Core architecture, this battery can post some impressive numbers. The 11-inch model gets up to 9 hours of battery life on a single charge. Put MacBook Air to sleep for more than 3 hours, and it enters standby mode to conserve battery life for up to 30 days4. And if you enable Power Nap, you’ll continue to receive new email and calendar invitations while your computer is asleep.

Apple Certified Refurbished Products

(1) What are Apple Certified Refurbished Products?

Apple Certified Refurbished Products are pre-owned Apple products that undergo Apple's stringent refurbishment process prior to being offered for sale. While only some units are returned due to technical issues, every unit is evaluated to ensure it meets Apple's quality standards.

Each Apple Certified Refurbished Product:

undergoes full functionality testing and any defective modules identified in testing are replaced.

Apple Watch devices that require replacement parts are not included in the Apple Certified Refurbished Program.

All Apple Certified Refurbished Products are covered by a one-year limited warranty. For extended coverage, you have the option of purchasing the AppleCare Protection Plan with your Apple Certified Refurbished Product. The AppleCare Protection Plan extends the complimentary coverage on your Apple Certified Refurbished Product to up to three years of world-class support for Mac, and up to two years of world-class support for iPad, iPod, iPhone, Apple Watch and Apple TV.

1. 1GB = 1 billion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.

2. Based on an IEEE 802.11ac draft specification. Performance based on comparison with Apple’s 802.11n products. Comparison assumes AirPort Extreme network with 802.11ac-enabled computer. Speed and range will be less if an 802.11a/b/g product joins the network. Accessing the wireless network requires a Wi-Fi-enabled device. Actual speed will vary based on range, connection rate, site conditions, size of network and other factors. Range will vary with site conditions.

3. Testing conducted by Apple in May 2013 using pre-production 1.7GHz dual-core Intel Core i7–based 13-inch MacBook Air systems with 512GB of flash storage and 8GB of RAM, and pre-production 1.7GHz dual-core Intel Core i7–based 11-inch MacBook Air systems with 512GB of flash storage and 8GB of RAM. 2.0GHz dual-core Intel Core i7–based 13-inch MacBook Air systems and 2.0GHz dual-core Intel Core i7–based 11-inch MacBook Air units with 512GB of flash storage and 8GB of RAM were production units. Testing conducted using Iometer 2006.07.27 with a 30-second ramp-up, 5-minute run duration, 512KB request size, 8 outstanding IOs and 150GB test file. MacBook Air continuously monitors system thermal and power conditions, and may adjust performance as needed to maintain optimal system operation.

4. Testing conducted by Apple in March 2014 using pre-production 1.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5–based 13-inch MacBook Air units and pre-production 1.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5–based 11-inch MacBook Air units. The wireless web test measures battery life by wirelessly browsing 25 popular websites with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75%. The HD film playback test measures battery life by playing back HD 720p content with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75%. The standby test measures battery life by allowing a system, connected to a wireless network and signed in to an iCloud account, to enter standby mode with Safari and Mail applications launched and all system settings left at default. Battery life varies by use and configuration. See www.apple.com/uk/batteries for more information.

5. Wireless Internet access requires a base station or other wireless access point and Internet access; fees may apply. Some ISPs are not currently compatible with AirPort.
